Скачать или смотреть Holocaust Education: Teacher of Adolf Eichmann (Beyond general facts)

In 1938, Adolf Eichmann chose an unexpected mentor: Dr. Benjamin Murmelstein, a Jewish scholar of history and tradition whom he appointed as the “Rabbi of Vienna.” Eichmann believed Murmelstein could teach him the inner dynamics of Jewish society—knowledge he later used to manipulate and control Jewish communities under Nazi rule.

Decades later, after Eichmann was captured in Argentina and brought to Israel in 1960, he demanded one unusual condition for his cooperation: Murmelstein must never be called to testify. No one understood Eichmann’s methods more clearly.

This video presents a rare excerpt from an interview with Murmelstein's son, who spent forty years learning from his father about Theresienstadt, internal community conflicts, and the complex relationship between his father and Adolf Eichmann.
